Yu Xiaogang Has a Terminal Illness? Flender's Wild Speculation!

Yu Xiaogang Has a Terminal Illness? Flender's Wild Speculation!

Tang San's talent was undoubtedly far ahead of his peers.

Even he had failed the Entrance Exam.

Yet Shrek Academy had still admitted four other new students.

That made no sense, did it?

"Here is the information on the four new students Shrek Academy admitted this year. See for yourself!"

Flender flung the list at Yu Xiaogang, obvious impatience on his face.

This guy actually dared question Shrek Academy's admissions test?

Yu Xiaogang opened the list of new students with a puzzled expression and began reading from the start.

"Zhu Zhuqing, female, twelve years old!"

"Beast Spirit: Hell Spirit Cat. Entered as a Level 27 Agility Attack Type Battle Spirit Master!"

The moment Yu Xiaogang saw the first student's information, he was dumbfounded.

This student named Zhu Zhuqing was a year younger than Tang San.

Yet her Soul Power was actually as high as Tang San's!

And her Spirit was exceptionally good as well!

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Yu Xiaogang continued reading.

"Ning Rongrong, female, twelve years old!"

"Weapon Spirit: Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Entered as a Level 26 Support Type Weapon Spirit Master!"

"What?!"

Another student younger than Tang San, whose Soul Power was only one level lower than his.

What astonished him most was that this student's Spirit was actually the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!

That meant she was from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and possessed limitless potential.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang actually began to believe Flender's words somewhat.

Judging by their abilities on paper, Tang San was even inferior to these students.

There were still two people left, so he chose to keep reading.

"Xiao Wu, female, twelve years old!"

"Beast Spirit: Soft Bone Rabbit. Level 29 Assault Type Battle Spirit Master!"

Th-this... how was that possible!

Yu Xiaogang was completely stunned.

This twelve-year-old female student had Soul Power a full two levels higher than Tang San's!

It was simply unbelievable.

And besides...

He always felt that this person's name sounded somewhat familiar.

During their six years at Nuoding Academy, Tang San had barely interacted with Xiao Wu.

As a result, Yu Xiaogang did not know her.

He had probably only heard her name from time to time.

Yu Xiaogang quickly flipped to the final page and slowly read the information written on it word by word.

"Gu Xuan, male, twelve years old!"

"Weapon Spirit: Scythe. Level 38 Assault Type Battle Spirit Master!"

"Gu... Gu Xuan!"

A familiar figure suddenly flashed through his mind.

After returning from the Soul Hunting Forest, Gu Xuan had still refused to take him as his master.

Yu Xiaogang had given up after that.

He had then focused on cultivating Tang San.

So although Gu Xuan had gained quite a reputation at Nuoding Academy during the following six years,

Yu Xiaogang had not paid him much attention.

Twelve years old, Scythe Spirit—those details matched perfectly.

But Level 38 Soul Power...

That did not seem to quite match the Gu Xuan he knew.

Clinging to a sliver of hope, Yu Xiaogang continued reading.

"Graduated from Nuoding Junior Spirit Master Academy."

"This..."

"How could this be!"

Yu Xiaogang's lips moved. He wanted to say something, but no words would come out.

It really was the Gu Xuan he knew.

With a sweep of his sleeve, Yu Xiaogang directly tossed the booklet of new student information onto the table.

But because he used too much force, he strained his waist.

At first, after losing a kidney, Yu Xiaogang had felt that it was no big deal.

But six years had passed.

Now, he felt weaker by the day.

"Xiaogang, are you all right?"

Flender asked tentatively.

He had noticed that Yu Xiaogang's frail appearance did not seem to be an act.

Could he have caught some sort of illness?

Flender suddenly imagined Yu Xiaogang suffering from a terminal illness.

Then entrusting his disciple Tang San to him.

At that thought, Flender's expression relaxed considerably.

"Ahh—!"

Yu Xiaogang let out a long sigh, then sat down dejectedly.

He recounted everything that had happened when he helped Tang San obtain his First Spirit Ring.

"So that was when you hurt your waist."

Flender finally understood.

He truly had not expected it.

After not seeing each other for so many years, Yu Xiaogang had actually lost a kidney!

For a time, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat oppressive.

Still, Flender felt relieved inside.

At least it was not as he had imagined.

Yu Xiaogang did not have a terminal illness and was not entrusting Tang San to him.

After all, as for the latter,

Flender truly did not think much of him at all.

Flender brewed a pot of tea, then dug out a packet of goji berries he had treasured for years from the cabinet.

He grabbed a huge handful and stuffed them into Yu Xiaogang's cup.

Then he steadily placed it before him.

Only after drinking a cup of scalding hot tea did Yu Xiaogang finally feel somewhat better.

At that moment, a figure surfaced in his mind.

It was Gu Xuan.

He could not help feeling regretful. When Gu Xuan had first entered Nuoding Academy, if he had focused on him instead,

would Gu Xuan have been willing to take him as his master?

If that had happened, he would now have something to boast about.

He shook his head. There was clearly no use thinking about such things now.

Yu Xiaogang also knew perfectly well.

The current Gu Xuan had even less than the slightest chance of taking him as his master.

After thinking for a while, he finally voiced the question in his heart to Flender.

"Then why did Tang San fail the Entrance Exam?"

That question directly rendered Flender speechless.

He truly had no face to speak of what Tang San had done.

But he could not avoid saying it either.

Just then, his eyes flickered as though he had thought of something.

Flender looked out the window. The sun had fully risen.

The faint mist in the air had also completely dissipated.

He stood and walked to the door of the room.

Then his gaze settled on Yu Xiaogang.

"I'll go bring Vice Dean Zhao Wuji over."

"He was fully responsible for this year's Entrance Exam. You can ask him directly when he arrives."

Yu Xiaogang nodded and said nothing.

Less than half an hour later, two figures returned from the distance.

Hearing the footsteps, Yu Xiaogang turned to look.

Because they were backlit, he could not make out their faces, but he could see their outlines clearly enough.

One of them had a fairly well-proportioned build. It was clearly Flender.

The other walked beside Flender.

That man was burly. Though he was about the same height as Flender,

his broad shoulders were nearly three times Flender's width.

Even from so far away, Yu Xiaogang could see the explosive muscles on his upper body.

"This should be the Vice Dean Zhao Wuji Flender mentioned, right?"

Yu Xiaogang muttered to himself, then turned away with a cold and aloof air.

As though he knew nothing, he lowered his eyes and began sipping tea.

In truth, he had heard of Zhao Wuji, the Indomitable King.

He simply did not know much about him.

Soon, Flender and Zhao Wuji pushed open the door and entered together.

Only upon hearing the door open did Yu Xiaogang put on an act and rise to his feet.

He then turned around and revealed his signature stiff, ugly smile.
